I work at a consulting engineering firm and write a lot of reports that are read by the public. I have an opportunity to recommend a different font for all of our written documents and am looking for something more modern/fresh than Times New Roman. Also open to recommendations for purpose specific communities about typography/fonts.

    For regular text, something sans-serif that is not fixed width like Calibri.

    For code or numbers, a fixed width sans-serif font like Consolas or Inconsolata.

    Serif fonts definitely have their place, far away from technical documents.

      It feels like low effort to use the default Office font when there are so many other options, but in my sans serif font tests Calibri ended up looking the best so far. I really didn’t want to like it! Curious where you think serif fonts belong? I don’t know shit about fonts/graphic design…
